Transactions linked in some way to either existing or new incoming management are now the norm rather than the exception. This trend has been accelerated by the appetite of private equity organisations to back either second tier management to replace the departing owners or alternatively managers that they have assessed in other businesses and are willing to support in a new venture.
While in 2008 bank support for such transactions has been more difficult to obtain, correctly priced and structured deals can still be successfully completed. Management in existing businesses are welcome to contact Oasis Europe at any time to discuss their individual situation in more detail.
